lpv:translated text	"You only have to look at the contents of the resolution on the situation in Palestine to see the extent to which it is an unacceptable exercise in hypocrisy and cynicism by a majority in Parliament with regard to human rights (in the world). The resolution does not have a single word of condemnation for Israel’s cruel aggression towards the Palestinian people, which nothing can justify. The resolution whitewashes the savagery inflicted on the Palestinian population in the Gaza Strip – which the resolution of the UN Human Rights Council denounced and condemned – and does not have a single word of solidarity for the Palestinian people, who are victims of the most brutal violations of human rights, perpetrated by the Israeli Army and by the terrorism of the Israeli state. The aspects of the resolution with which we may agree cannot override the fact that this annual initiative by the EP is essentially nothing more than a perfidious exercise in the manipulation of human rights and their unacceptable use as a weapon of interference by the EU’s major powers (and their large economic and financial groups) against people who are asserting their sovereignty and rights. Once again we say: you can count on us to defend human rights, but do not count on us for exercises in hypocrisy."@en1
